By using honesteldercare.com you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

What this site is

Honest Elder Care publishes general educational information about elder care costs and payment programs in the United States. The content is information only. It is not financial advice, legal advice, medical advice, tax advice, or benefits counseling for any individual situation, and reading it does not create a professional relationship between you and this site. See our disclaimer.

Accuracy

We work to keep figures accurate and sourced, as described in how we research. Costs, program rules, and eligibility thresholds change, vary by state and by facility, and depend on individual facts. Always confirm a figure or rule with the provider, the state agency, or the program before making a decision or signing an agreement.

Intellectual property

The text, design, and original graphics on this site belong to Honest Elder Care unless credited otherwise. You may quote short excerpts with a link back to the page. You may not republish full articles, scrape the site in bulk, or use our content to train machine learning models without written permission.

Links to other sites

We link to government agencies, surveys, and other sources so readers can verify our figures. We do not control those sites, are not responsible for their content, and a link is a citation, not an endorsement of everything on the destination site.

Acceptable use

Limitation of liability

The site is provided as is, without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent allowed by law, Honest Elder Care is not liable for damages arising from use of this site or reliance on its content, including decisions made on the basis of cost figures or program descriptions. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Governing law and changes

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which the site's operator is established. We may update these terms; the date at the top of this page shows the current version, and continued use after an update means you accept the updated terms.
